Marne-la-Vallée is a French bus network run by Île-de-France Mobilités. The network is operated by Transdev via Transdev Marne-la-Vallée since January 1, 2021.

It consists of 37 lines (including 4 night lines) which mainly serve the catchment area of Marne-la-Vallée.

History

[edit]

Pep's bus network

[edit]
Main article: Pep's bus network

The Marne-la-Vallée bus network was created under the Pep's bus brand in 1995, seven years after Transdev bought the local bus company Transdev AMV following an agreement between Transdev and the transport union of sectors 3 and 4 of Marne-la-Vallée. It consisted of 12 lines.[1]

The Pep's bus network was gradually formed, with the development of the Pep's image on buses and bus stop signs (450 were created for the occasion) on March 9, 1998.

That same year, Europe Autocars, which manages the bus network in the northern Marne region, comprised five lines that integrated the Pep's bus network. It is now managed by the Syndicat Intercommunal d'Études des Mobilités Urbaines.[2]

Since the 2000s, the intensive development of the Val d'Europe area has made it possible to improve the service offered, by improving communication with users, with the creation of passenger information screens on buses, ticket offices dedicated to the network, a website including real-time timetables for all lines as well as a discussion forum. Despite the frequency of some bus lines on the network being lower than that of RER A (a train every five minutes in the evening at Torcy station, for example) but similar to that of RER E (a train every fifteen minutes at Tournan station, for example), the Pep's network is booming, thanks to modifications and reinforcements on its lines, and accompanies the development of the new town of Marne-la-Vallée.

Last years of Pep's

[edit]

In 2017, the organizing authority Île-de-France Mobilités (ex-STIF), having just refreshed its identity, opted for a strong communication called "Transport Revolution in Île-de-France", then "Grand Paris des Buses". It concerns, among other things, the improvement of more than 150 bus lines distributed within the networks located in the outer suburbs.[3] It was from this date that the pink bus livery characteristic of the Pep's brand was abandoned, in favor of the blue livery of Île-de-France Mobilités, now common to all bus networks in the Île-de-France region.

In 2018, the new northern bus station was inaugurated with nine new platforms, doubling its capacity.[4] While the southern bus station, located on Avenue Paul Séramy, opens to the public on July 1, 2019, to accommodate the new line 47 of the network.[5][6][7]

Until the opening to the competition and his renaming to Marne-la-Vallée, many lines were created, reorganized, folded or transferred to Disneyland Paris privates shuttles.[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]

Opening to the competition

[edit]

Following the opening of public transport to competition in Île-de-France, the Pep's bus network became Marne-la-Vallée on January 1, 2021, corresponding to public service delegation number 10 established by Île-de-France Mobilités. A call for tenders was therefore launched by the organizing authority to designate a company that will succeed the operation of Transdev AMV for a period of five years. It was finally Transdev, via its subsidiary Transdev Marne-la-Vallée, which was designated during the board of directors of July 8, 2020.[18]

At the date of its opening to competition, the network consisted of lines 02, 04, 06, 07, 12, 13, 14, 15, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 29, 32, 34, 35, 37, 42, 43, 44, 46 and 47 of Pep's, and lines 7, 57 and 60 of Grand Morin.

Network development

[edit]

Starting September 2, 2021. The line 20 is created in five services for Saint-Laurent-La-Paix - Notre Dame school complex.[19]

On November 7, 2022, a new departure to the Collège Léonard de Vinci, school located at Saint-Thibault-des-Vignes is added on the line 21.[20]

On January 15, 2024, a new stop called Artisans is created in Chessy opposite the existing one in the opposite direction, served by lines 23, 24 and 43 coming from Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy station.[21]

Routes renaming

[edit]

As of April 22, 2024, Marne-la-Vallée network will apply the new single regional numbering principle planned by Île-de-France Mobilités, removing duplicates.[22] The correspondence between old and new numbers is as follows:[22]

Following network renaming

[edit]

Following the renaming of the network, the Demand-responsive transport (DRT) of Marne-la-Vallée called TàD Marne-la-Vallée is replaced by four night lines.[23]

In late 2024, new bus stops were created.[24][25][26][27]

Night routes

[edit]

Since April 22, 2024, the network operates four night lines called Soirée Bussy-Saint-Georges, Soirée Val d'Europe, Soirée Marne-la-Vallée and Soirée Lagny–Thorigny, these night lines replace the DRT service during the night.[28]

DRT

[edit]

The network operated a Demand-responsive transport service (DRT, also called TàD or Transport à la demande by Île-de-France Mobilités) called TAD Marne-la-Vallée until 2024.

This service served the last three stations of the RER A, Bussy-Saint-Georges, Val d'Europe and Marne-la-Vallée - Chessy, a Transilien P station called Lagny - Thorigny and the Jablines Leisure Island.[29]

Since April 22, 2024. The service ceased his operations and is replaced by four night lines.[29]
